The weather is maintaining its record pace here in Northeastern PA and the pumpkins are starting to take shape. The bad news at my main patch is I had two pumpkins abort one on the 964 Wolf and one on the 1272.5 Hilstosky. I am down to the final pollinations which were done on July 12th. They are looking like they are swelling but my fingers are crossed. Both plants are very healthy looking but I am already out of room for the 964. If it takes it is in great shape otherwise I am going to have to go with one of the freeloading open pollinated rogue pumpkins that are sitting amongst the secondaries. The main vine has been terminated. Rocky has a huge lead on me at that patch for sure. I shouldn't be so hard on ole Rock as he is kicking my butt once again with his massive Hilstosky fruit. I should not snicker that he is putting on his knee highs once again and off to Scout Camp. I could not resist clicking on the camps web cam though to check in on Rocky and just see what this camping is all about. Ahhhh, America we are safe. Here is a photo I spied of Rocky leading our young troops into combat. Keep up the good work Rocky..
